Changing schools during the school year
Applications for spaces for in-year admissions to Westfield School can be made via East Sussex County Council’s website.
Once the application has been made, East Sussex County Council then has responsibility to allocate the space, providing there is availability in the requested year group.
If there are no spaces available in the requested year group, your child would be added to the waiting list.
If there is more than one child on the waiting list for the school, any place that becomes available would be allocated using the Local Authority in year admission criteria, which are set out in the Admissions Rules.
